"Sister Spirit," A One Act Play

This inspiring one act play, created by Mimi Gisolfi DʼAponte, is based on the true story of Sister Marion Defeis' experiences as a prison chaplain at Rikers Island Correctional Facility in New York and her work to reform the Rockefeller Drug Laws.

Catholic Mobilizing Network has received permission from author Mimi Gisolfi DʼAponte to make the script available to parishes, high schools, colleges and universities, and other groups interested in bringing Sister Marion's powerful story to life on stage. "Sister Spirit" is thought provoking and would be ideal for a one act play competition. This one act play, available for your download and use, can be found below.
